Clerk Update – February 6, 2025

The Clerk team has been hard at work shipping new features to help you build secure applications faster. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:

Official SDK for Vue and Nuxt

The @clerk/vue and @clerk/nuxt are now the official Clerk SDKs built specifically for Vue and Nuxt respectively. These SDKs allow developers to add authentication and authorization into their applications in minutes using the same developer experience built into all Clerk libraries.

  • Clerk’s UI components make it easy to add beautiful, interactive UI elements like <SignUp />, <SignIn/>, and <UserButton /> directly into your Vue application.
  • Protect API routes in Nuxt by referencing the event.context.auth object on the server to decide if the user should be allowed to access authorized content.

Get started with this SDK by walking through either the Vue quickstart → or Nuxt quickstart → in our docs.

Combined sign-in-or-sign-up

Our <SignIn /> component now allows users to sign up if they don’t already have an existing account. If an account is not found when the user attempts to sign in, they will be automatically redirected to the sign up flow, streamlining the process of signing up to your service.

  • Combined sign-in-or-sign-up is now the default behavior for the <SignIn /> component, automating this implementation for new Clerk applications.
  • Easily use the traditional behavior by including a CLERK_SIGN_UP_URL environment variable and including the <SignUp /> component in your application.

Learn more about this new behavior in the docs →.
